If it ain't broken, don't fix it, I have never actually tried ODIN v3.09 but v3.04 and even 1.85 still work well. And you can flash that through PDA in those versions of ODIN.
However if you must use ODIN v3.09, use 'AP' option and place that file you mentioned there. Cheers!

Here you find the how to for flashing with Odin ( post 1 ) You only need the tar.
Pda in Odin 3.09 is AP

Upgrade from rooted/custom MK2 To NAE HELP

Been trying go go from custom/rooted MK2 to NAE
Using odin 3.07 and 3.09 and flashing the firmware doesn't seem to work. The thread also says to uncheck "F. Reset and Auto Reboot"...but still doesn't take.
During odin everything seems to pass...just when i boot up the phone and check the settings it doesn't show NAE
Right now I'm downloading the stock ROM and in hopes the stock recovery...but other then that need assistance.
Thanks!

got it working
Success....downloaded the stock ROM .tar that is ran through odin and then i ran the NAE firmware through odin and it's all working now.

Pit missing

Hello, Im having trouble going back too stock nae.
This is what happened.
1. Phone was rooted,custom pac-man rom. 4.4.2 it might have been.
2. Flashed the phone back to mk2 using odin. All went smooth
3. Never past the samsung sscreen(bootloop)
4. tried flashing NAE firmware with no success.
message from odin:
odin v.3 engine (ID:4)
File analysis
SetupConnection...
Initialization...
Get PIT for mapping...
There is no PIT partition.
All threads completed.(succeed 0/ failed 1)
It will do this to any type pda i try to flash like, stock rom or custom recovery
How can i fix this
